The Dumb and The Clueless

Chapter 4: The Secret That Needs To Be Kept

Steven pops his head in the little crack of the door. "You guys okay?" I scratch the back of my neck, and start blushing. "Yeah we're...we're fine." I finally respond. "Alright you guys need more time?" "yeah... another 5 minutes would be enough." Harry responds. "Alright.." He closes the door, and I focus back on Harry. "Harry you CANNOT tell him." I clearly state. "Alright, Alright." We walk back outside, my arms crossed and folded. Harry walks in casually, and I sit down next to Steven. "So I wanted to know..Katie would you wanna go to dinner with me tonight?" "S-Sure." I stutter. Steven pauses for a moment. "Harry you can bring a date too if you want.." "Thanks bro".. "Well I guess it's time to get ready for the dinner!" I exclaim. "But it starts in 3 hours.." Steven responds, sadly. I lightly kiss him goodbye, and shove him out the door and close the door. "See you tonight!" I yell. I lean against the closed door, and slowly slide down. I put my hands to my face and begin to cry. Harry rushes over, sits next to me on the floor and tries to comfort me. He tries to put his arm around me, in an attempt to give me hug, but I push him away. I think about having to get ready, and I run upstairs to my room. I close the door and lock it. I change into a black flowing dress, and a coral belt. I get a coral purse, and coral heels. I fix my hair by ironing it, and making it super straight. 3 hours go by because I lay on the couch watching tv all dressed up. Harry comes out of my room with a suit on, I dont even know where he found it, but I think it's my dad's. He needs help putting his tie on, and I get up and help him. He wraps his arms around my waist, and I step on his foot with the heel of my shoe. "Ow shit" He mutters to himself. I laugh and turn around, as we get into the car. We drive to the restauraunt, and it's really freaking fancy. I see my friends there and their dates and Steven waiting for me. "Where's your date, Harry?" Steven asks. I feel like telling him about what happened last night, but I can't..it would shatter his heart into pieces. Even WORSE because it's Harry, his best friend. We sit down and order our drinks, and I settle for water only because I feel like my stomach is going to blow. I sit in the middle of Harry and Steven, and Steven has his arm around me. The appetizer comes, salad. Whatever. This is a bit too fancy. I only put a bit on my plate, and pick at it. I really liked it and was about to put a whole spoonful (even though I was using a fork) in my mouth, when I feel something on my thigh. I look under the table and see a hand. I follow the arm and see Harry, looking at me intensely, smirking and mentally undressing me. I can just tell by how he's looking at me. When suddenly, the hand gets closer.
